Most Spectacular Places to Go Camping Under the Stars

You probably dreamed of being an astronaut as a child. But then artificial city lights and pollution diminished the majesty of dark skies and you forgot about the Milky Way, as you can barely see more than a few hundred stars from an urban park, even if it’s one of the best.

Camping is all about reconnecting with nature, breathing fresh air by a campfire and admiring the sky. The following places made the list for several reasons – they are either remote, located at high elevation, tucked into undeveloped land, offer special night sky programs, or offer thrilling camping conditions.
